Huntington's chorea is a genetic neurodegenerative disease described by undesirable choreatic developments, social and mental disturbances, and dementia. It is a rare disease, reported an overall prevalence of 0.40 per 1,00,000. In this report, we are presenting a case of a 36-year-old female patient diagnosed with Huntington's chorea. The treatment had done through multiple inpatient department admissions and managed with Sodhana (~eliminative) and Shamana (~palliative medicines) methods. For the assessment, we have used the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale and Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale. There is no specific cure for this disease but symptomatic relief is the main aim of the management. Here, the case is discussed, considering its less prevalence and scope of Ayurveda in treating this kind of disease.
